Hello!
I am using CYUSB2014 with S25FS064 to store the firmware. To my understanding, the storage capacity is way bigger than what is needed for the firmware.I want to use the flash to store some other parameters. I know I should not store them in the same place as the firmware, but what are other precautions and consderations I need to take? Is it safe? Is the firmware loaded only at startup?
Regards

Hi,
SPI Flash on the FX3 is mainly used to store application firmware or a second stage bootloader. FX3 has a ROM bootloader to boot on startup.

Hi,
The ROM bootloader boots from SPI flash when the PMODE pins are configured for the same. This happens whenever FX3 undergoes hard reset or a power up.
SPI flash can be used to store other information along with the firmware image. Make sure you are neither writing nor erasing the sector/page where the firmware is present.
